y Cautions• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted

due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion occurs in the fi lmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking.In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.

• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a short time. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.

• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.

Taking photographs during movie recording• Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take a

photograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the R button to end recording. Three fi les will be recorded to the memory card: the movie footage preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following the photograph.

• Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer and fl ash cannot be used.

y Cautions• Image size and quality for photographs are independent of movie frame size.• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to take

photographs.• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:

Multiple exposure (still photography also ends.)/shutter button pressed halfway/during bulb, time or composite photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode (e-Portrait, Hand-Held Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting

• Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/4000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB], [LIVE TIME], or [LIVECOMP].

y Cautions• Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.

Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)Use for night landscapes and fi reworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are available in mode M.

Bulb photography (BULB): The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.

Time photography (TIME): The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button all the way down again.

• Display brightness is adjusted automatically during BULB, TIME, and live composite photography. g [BULB/TIME Monitor] (P. 97)

• When using [LIVE TIME], the progress of the exposure will be displayed in the monitor during shooting. The display can also be refreshed by pressing the shutter button halfway.

• [Live BULB] (P. 97) can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography.

Composites ( live composite photography)Use for building a composite image from bright portions in the shot (such as fi reworks, stars etc.) without changing the brightness of the background.

1 Set an exposure time to be the reference in [Composite Settings] (P. 97).

y Cautions• In live bulb, live time and live composite photography, there are limits on the available ISO

sensitivity settings.• To reduce camera blur when shooting using bulb, time, or composite photography, mount

the camera on a sturdy tripod and use a remote cable (P. 137).• During bulb, time and live composite photography, there are limits on the settings of the

following functions.Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/time lapse shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/fl ash bracketing/multiple exposure* etc.* An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME] (P. 97).

• Even when [Noise Reduct.] is in use, noise may be noticeable in the image displayed on the monitor during shooting.

Noise in imagesWhile shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 96)

Using movie mode (n)Movie mode (n) can be used to fi lm movies with special effects.You can create movies that take advantage of the effects available in still photography mode. Use live control to select the settings. g [Adding effects to a movie] (P. 71)You can also apply an after-image effect or zoom in on an area of the image during movie recording.

One-touch white balanceMeasure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting that will be used in the fi nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

1 Prepare a neutral-colored paper, such as white or gray.• Frame the object so that it fi lls the display and no shadows fall it.

2 Shoot while pressing the Y (one-touch white balance) button.• You can also shoot after selecting P, Q, W, or X from the white balance

options screen and then pressing INFO.

3 Select from P, Q, W, or X and register.• If it is already selected in the white balance menu, select [Yes] and press the Q

button.• The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.• The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the

power off does not erase the data.

% Tips• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be

displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from Step 1.

ISO sensitivityIncreasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

1 Set the lever to position 2, and turn the front dial to select items.

y Cautions• If you shoot with a slower shutter speed, there may be more noticeable noise.• Attach the camera to a tripod or other stabilizing item and then shoot.• The image displayed on the monitor or in the viewfi nder while shooting will differ from the

HDR-processed image.• In the case of [HDR1] and [HDR2], the HDR-processed image will be saved as a JPEG

fi le. When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG. The only image recorded in RAW is the image with suitable exposure.

• If set to [HDR1]/[HDR2], the picture mode is fi xed to [Natural] and the color setting is fi xed to [sRGB]. [Full-time AF] does not operate.

2 Switch the shooting mode using the front dial and press the Q button.

P Optimal aperture is set automatically according to the brightness of the subject.

A Depiction of background is changed by setting the aperture. Use the rear dial to adjust the aperture.

S Shutter speed affects how the subject appears. Use the rear dial to adjust the shutter speed. Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/30 s and 1/4000 s.

MYou control both aperture and shutter speed. Use the front dial to choose the aperture, the rear dial to select the shutter speed from values between 1/30 s and 1/4000 s. Sensitivity can be set manually to values between ISO 200 and 3200; auto ISO sensitivity control is not available.

y Cautions• When recording a movie, you cannot change the settings for exposure compensation,

aperture value, and shutter speed.• If [Image Stabilizer] is activated while recording a movie, the recorded image is enlarged

slightly.• Stabilization is not possible when the camera shake is excessive.• When the inside of the camera becomes hot, shooting is automatically stopped to protect

the camera.• With some art fi lters, [C-AF] operation is limited.• Cards with an SD speed class of 6 or above are recommended for movie recording.

Setting the image aspectYou can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures. Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3] (standard), [16:9], [3:2], [1:1], or [3:4].

1 Press the Q button and select an aspect ratio.

2 Select a setting using the front dial and press the Q button.

y Cautions• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not

cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.

You can use the camera wireless LAN function to connect to a smartphone over a wireless network.• View and transfer images stored on the camera card.• Add position information to image using the smartphone position information.• Operate the camera using your smartphone.

For these operations, a smartphone with the smartphone app installed is necessary. See the Olympus website for details on “OLYMPUS Image Share (OI.Share)”, the smartphone app.

y Cautions• Before using the wireless LAN function, read “Precautions when using the wireless LAN

function” (P. 157). • If using the wireless LAN function in a country outside the region where the camera was

purchased, there is a risk that the camera will not conform to the wireless communication regulations of that country. Olympus will not be held responsible for any failure to meet such regulations.

• As with any wireless communication, there is always a risk of interception by a third party.• The wireless LAN function on the camera cannot be used to connect to a home or public

access point.

Preparing your smartphoneInstall “OI.Share”, the smartphone app, and then start OI.Share on your smartphone.

Preparing your cameraThere are 2 methods for the wireless LAN connection.

Wireless fl ash control rangePosition the wireless fl ash units with their remote sensors facing the camera. The following illustration shows the approximate ranges at which the fl ash units can be positioned. The actual control range varies with local conditions.

5m100°100°

50°50°50°50°

60°60°

30°30°30°30°

y Cautions• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote fl ash units.• Remote fl ash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock

exposures longer than 4 seconds.• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control fl ashes emitted by the camera fl ash

may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera fl ash by, for example, using a diffuser).

• The upper limit of fl ash synchronization timing is 1/250 sec. when using the fl ash in remote control mode.

Other external fl ash units

Use after connecting the synchro cord to the hot shoe or external fl ash jack. When not using an external fl ash terminal, be sure to attach the cap.When attaching a third-party fl ash to the camera’s hot shoe or external fl ash jack, be careful of the following points.

Cap

• Using obsolete fl ash units that apply currents of more than about 250 V to the X-contact will damage the camera.

• Connecting fl ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifi cations may damage the camera.

• Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than fl ash synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].

• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the fl ash to the ISO sensitivity and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.

• Use a fl ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

Principal Accessories

Four Thirds lens adapter (MMF–2/MMF–3)The camera requires a Four Thirds lens adapter to attach Four Thirds lenses. Since the AF method differs when using a Micro Four Thirds system lens, the AF operational area is narrower.

Remote cable (RM–UC1)Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera multi-connector.

Converter lensesConverter lenses attach to the camera lens for quick and easy fi sh-eye or macro photography. See the OLYMPUS website for information on the lenses that can be used.• Use the appropriate lens attachment for SCN mode (f, w, or m).

Macro arm light (MAL–1)Use to illuminate subjects for macro photography, even at ranges at which vignetting would occur with the fl ash.

Microphone set (SEMA–1)The microphone can be placed at a distance from the camera to avoid recording ambient sounds or wind noise. Third-party commercial microphones can also be used depending on your creative intent. We recommend that you use the supplied extension cord. (power supplied via l3.5 mm stereo mini-plug)

Eyecup (EP-13)You can exchange this for a larger eyecup.

The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded

The battery is not fully charged• Charge the battery with the charger.

The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold• Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Remove the battery and warm it by

putting it in your pocket for a while.

No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed

The camera has turned off automatically• The camera automatically enters sleep mode to reduce the drain on the battery if no

operations are performed for a set period of time. g [Sleep] (P. 96)If no operations are performed for a set time (4 hours) after the camera has entered sleep mode, the camera will turn off automatically.

The fl ash is charging• On the monitor, the # mark blinks when charging is in progress. Wait for the blinking to

stop, then press the shutter button.

Unable to focus• The camera cannot focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are not

suited to autofocus (the AF confi rmation mark will blink in the monitor). Increase the distance to the subject or focus on a high contrast object at the same distance from the camera as your main subject, compose the shot, and shoot.

Subjects that are diffi cult to focus onIt may be diffi cult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.

AF confi rmation mark is blinking.These subjects are not focused.

Subject with low contrast

Excessively bright light in center of frame

Subject containing no vertical lines

AF confi rmation mark lights up but the subject is not focused.

Subjects at different distances

Fast-moving subject Subject not inside AF area

Noise reduction is activated• When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear in

images. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow shutter speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off].g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 96)

The number of AF targets is reducedThe number and size of AF targets varies with aspect ratio, group target settings, and the option selected for [Digital Tele-converter]. When using a Four Thirds system lens, there are 37 targets.

The date and time has not been set

The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase• The date and time of the camera is not set when purchased. Set the date and time before

using the camera. g “Setting the date/time” (P. 17)

The battery has been removed from the camera• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is

left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be cancelled more quickly if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

Set functions are restored to their factory default settingsWhen you rotate the mode dial or turn off the power in a shooting mode other than P, A, S, or M, functions with changes made to their settings are restored to the factory default settings.

Image taken appears whitishThis may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is due to a phenomenon called fl are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light source. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.g “Interchangeable lenses” (P. 129)

Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture takenThis may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [Pixel Mapping]. If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g “Pixel Mapping - Checking the image processing functions” (P. 145)

Functions that cannot be selected from menusSome items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.• Items that cannot be set with the current shooting mode.• Items that cannot be set because of an item that has already been set:

Cleaning and storing the camera

Cleaning the cameraTurn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.

Exterior:• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water

and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung.

Monitor:• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Lens:• Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with

a lens cleaning paper.

Storage• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store

the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.• Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching them.• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is

attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.• Clean the camera after use.• Do not store with insect repellent.

Cleaning and checking the image pickup deviceThis camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates when the camera is turned on.The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, which checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.

y Cautions• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the

camera from corrosion.• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before

taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works properly.

MonitorThe display on the rear of the camera is an LCD monitor.• In the unlikely event that the monitor

breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your mouth. Any of the material adhering to your hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off immediately.

• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.

• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.

• In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily.When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.

• The monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.

Lens• Do not immerse in water or splash with water.• Do not drop or exert strong force on the lens.• Do not hold at the moving part of the lens.• Do not touch the lens surface directly.• Do not touch the contact points directly.• Do not subject to abrupt temperature

changes.
